บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Chose “True Love”, I Took Back Everything: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

A year ago, when my Alpha mate Alex swore to me that he'd changed — that he didn't love Vivian anymore — I believed him. I thought everything would be okay.Now I was pregnant again, seven months along.This morning, Alex held my hand and walked with me to the Pack Elder's residence. We were there to register for the Naming Ceremony ahead of the baby's arrival.The Elder pulled out the prenatal records from the filing cabinet and mentioned offhandedly, "The former Healer Vivian kept very thorough records back then. Shame what happened."The moment that name left his lips, Alex's hand — resting on the edge of the desk — went rigid.His jaw clenched. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes.I stood quietly beside him, catching every single one of those tiny reactions.That familiar bitterness rose in my stomach.But I bit down hard on my lip, swallowed every last feeling, and said nothing.The drive back was suffocating in its silence.I leaned against the car window, my mind replaying the p

Alex's hand was already reaching for the document in my hands.Then his closest subordinate burst into the bedroom in a panic."Alpha! Something's happened!" The man hadn't even knocked. "Vivian was attacked by rogues at the border!"At the sound of her name, Alex's hand froze in midair.The subordinate shot a nervous glance at me, swallowed, and continued."The warriors you secretly assigned to protect Vivian captured the rogues.""The rogues confessed that the Luna paid them to kill Vivian."Alex's face changed instantly.He whipped around and stared at me, his eyes blazing with disbelief and fury."You hired rogues to kill her?" he snarled through clenched teeth.I looked at him and felt nothing but disgust at the absurdity."It wasn't me," I said, meeting his gaze evenly. "Since the day she was banished, I haven't spared a single thought about whether she lived or died.""This is obviously a setup Vivian staged herself — to force you to go running back to her."But Alex wasn't list

Alex didn't show his face at the Blackwood territory for days.He didn't send me a single message either.I didn't ask. I didn't go looking.I went back to the Blackwood Pack's main residence alone.Every day I sat quietly in my room, sorting through the things that belonged to a life with Alex.Gossip spread through the pack quickly.They said the former Alpha was living with Vivian in an old hunting cabin on the outskirts of the territory.They said the two were inseparable.Some even claimed Alex had publicly promised to formally take Vivian as his new Luna once things settled down.I never found out who made sure these rumors reached the main house.But servants and guards kept "accidentally" mentioning them within earshot.I acted like I heard nothing.I went through the things I'd collected over the years, one by one.A wolf fang pendant — the first gift Alex brought me from the training grounds when we were young.The braided leather bracelet he'd made for me by hand the day we

Alex was driving toward the Blackwood territory with Vivian. He wanted to get back to the main residence and pick up some of his personal belongings.They were halfway there when a violent, tearing sensation ripped through Alex's chest.Something invisible inside him had been severed.The pain came without warning.He slammed the brakes, both hands locking onto the steering wheel.Cold sweat erupted across his forehead and dripped down his face.He knew exactly what this was.The Mate Bond had been broken completely.She actually did it.She had severed the last connection between us.Vivian yelped in shock at the sudden stop, her body lurching forward."Alex, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice high with panic.Alex didn't answer.He sat rigid in the driver's seat, unmoving, until the soul-splitting agony slowly numbed into emptiness.He started the car again and drove urgently toward the territory.When they finally reached the checkpoint at the territory entrance, Alex braked and ro

Alex drove at full speed to the gates of the Ashford Pack's main territory.The moment he stopped, armed guards blocked his path."No former Alpha may enter Ashford territory without authorization." A guard drew his weapon in warning.Alex gripped the steering wheel, white-knuckled.He sat in the car for a long time before finally turning around and leaving, humiliated.The next day, he came back.He stood outside the guard post at the Ashford territory entrance.Through the gates, he shouted my name over and over.The guards drew their weapons and refused to let him take a single step inside.He could only stand beyond the line, yelling toward the interior."That Bond dissolution was based on a document from a year ago — it shouldn't even count!""The baby's almost here. Are you really going to let her be born without a father?""Ivy — come out! Let's talk!"He stood there, stubborn, shouting for over an hour.I never appeared.By the time his voice was completely gone, he still hadn'
